Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin, The famous “D-list” comedian/actress, got her start on the Los Angeles area live show “The Groundlings,” but she is well known for her roles as Vicki Groener on the NBC series “Suddenly Susan” and as Sally Weaver on “Seinfeld” and the voice of the character Alice on “Dilbert.”

The acerbic, razor-tongued, take-no-prisoners comedian Kathy Griffin has built a career for herself — as an actress and a standup performer — around the schtick of being permanently under-respected by everyone and fighting back with her claws extended. Griffin is notorious for mercilessly roasting worthy targets through her comedy, and keeps audiences laughing in the aisles at performances nationwide.
